Wobbler Afterglow album cover


That album really frustrates me. I think it has some REALLY cool moments in it, but it seems just like they cut and pasted them together. It's really a shame because it had a lot of potential...

-Jeff


It is indeed piecemeal cliche.  I listened to it this morning with ear to see if I should drop my rating to two stars...but I'm still unsure. 

Normally I am an arrangement guy- I like solid arrangements over technical expertise, but much of the music on here is executed so well that sometimes I can overlook the bad arrangements.


My biggest problem is that nothing has a concise feeling of a "song" so to speak. It sometimes seems like random sections thrown into a melting pot. Some of the sections are so awesome, but they just don't really work together IMO. I think their keyboard player is incredibly talented though.Thumbs Up

-Jeff


There's a lot of that going around.  Dead


You gentlemen seem content with today's classic-influenced, or -reconstructing (to avoid the vague and ugly-to-use in this case "retro") prog. Smile

Because I'm not. A lot of flawed, inexpressive or upside-down visions and interpretations these days, a category which definitely doesn't include Wobbler.

It's also uneasy to hear that faithfully (re)created but also considerably eclectic materials, such as this one, are suddenly "too progressive".


Some the criticisms I have made of Wobbler (this album really, I gave Hinterland four stars) I make of some of Emerson, Lake, & Palmer as well. Wink
